CURRENT PROJECTS:

European Just Building Transition

A series of assemblies and working groups collaborating towards the goal of a just building transition in Europe. European ACAN chapters are involved and the network is being hosted by Architects4Future Germany

🗺️ Demolition Atlas Project

A project started by ACAN Sweden, inspired by Countdown2030 in Switzerland. Demolition Maps are a community mapping tool to share buildings that are ‘at risk’, ‘demolished’, or ‘saved’. There is a consortium of ACAN chapters and other organisations working towards an ‘Umbrella Site’ and various fundraising activities

🤹 International Skills Sharing Events

Innovation is key to reducing carbon emissions in the built environment. Reducing carbon emissions in the built environment starts with innovation. Since over 80% of buildings already exist, retrofitting with bio-based materials is key to sustainability. Join us for an immersive, hands-on workshop where we explore practical ways to integrate natural materials into existing buildings.
